Billy Elliot is set in north-eastern England during the 1984-1985 coal miners' strike, this is very important to acknowledge because it has a great impact on Billy & his circumstances

In this essay I will characterize Romeo and how he changed over the play and the film Baz Luhrman directed. Romeo in the film is always compared to blue or Water. I think the director decided to associate Romeo to blue to show the audience that he is a calm and trusting person. For example he is always wearing a blue shirt.

From that Romeo and Juliet written centuries ago was produced as movie by Baz Luhrmann with some changes according to modern setting, with much better technology over William Shakespeare period. Despite the fact that movie appeared to be better than Play, it left out many major parts of the text.. It is important for film maker

I first came across the highly-stylized film Moulin Rouge! when I was Fourteen-years-old. Immediately, I became obsessed. Yet, despite several months of fixation with the lavish musical, I have not watched the Baz Luhrmann directed film in almost seven years. A lot has changed in my life since my initial viewing. Yet, many things which first captivated me about the film still remain true. Therefore, a re-viewing of the film in order to track my emotional engagement with the film seems applicable

Baz Luhrmann’s directoral style in his films has evolved quite a lot from his earlier film Strictly Ballroom (1992) to Romeo and Juliet (1996) and finally to his most recent film The Great Gatsby (2013). This evolution is most prevalent in his cinematic language and use of mise-en-scene, his story telling techniques, as well as his belief in a theatrical cinema. In Strictly Ballroom, the mise-en-scene is carefully thought out by Luhrmann and his team. The scene is very well set out to show the personalities
